Did Halloween leave you hankering for even more Halloween? Then join the Classics department as we sponsor a spooky guest lecture by Brian Channing Walters, Assistant Professor of Classics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Professor Walters' lecture, "Lucan's Walking Dead," will address the challenges of translating ancient zombies for a modern audience; given the recent cultural popularity of zombies in America, one must translate not just a text, but an ancient Roman way of seeing zombies in the world which takes into account a modern reader's expectations of cultural zombie norms. Professor Walters will also treat us to his translation of the relevant section of Lucan's "Bellum Civile."
